Trentino daily climate dataset by RMAWGEN R package (https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=RMAWGEN E. and E. (2016)) contains all information about meteorological stations and instrumental timeseries in 59 sites located in Trentino (Italy) and its neighborood. In particular, it contains daily precipitantion, maximimum and minimum temperature. Original data are provided by Provincia Autonoma di Trento (https://www.meteotrentino.it/), Fondazione Edmund Mach (https://www.fmach.it), Provincia Autonama di Bolzano/Autome Provinz Bozen (http://www.provincia.bz.it/meteo), ARPA Lombardia (https://www.arpalombardia.it/), ARPA Veneto (https://www.arpa.veneto.it/previsioni/it/html/index.php). Two more stations (WWRLUN and WWTRES) provided by the present project are added.
The trentino + 2 more stations dataset station locations are inserted within the grid provided by CORDEX outcome files (https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/cdsapp#!/dataset/projections-cordex-domains-single-levels?tab=overview).
Here is a list of available combinations of Global Climate Models (GCMs) and Regional Climate Models RCMS Provided by EURO-CORDEX project provided by Copenicus Data Storage in collaboration with ECMWF (https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/cdsapp#!/dataset/projections-cordex-domains-single-levels?tab=doc,https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/CKB/CORDEX%3A+Regional+climate+projections, https://climate.copernicus.eu/sites/default/files/2021-03/C3SWebinar1_ErikKjellstrom.pdf )(e.g. Coppola et al.

Climate predictions with GCMs are subsequently downscaled at about-10 km resolutions by RCMs.
Extracted monthly predicted time series cover the area of grid cells covering in which the station site is contained. Gridded model values from RCMs are subsequently statistical downscaled and then compared with observations, when available, for the historical period (1951-2005) and the RCP8.5 scenario (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representative_Concentration_Pathway)(2006-2100). Downscaling from the RCM value to the site-scale value has been performed with an ARIMA model. Model are calibarated for the first 10 years of the time series of observations at WWRLUN and WWTRES. Observation at WWRLUN and WWTRES are avaiable from 2001 to 2022 (March). Downscaled time series with the best fit and tat can be accepted for further analysis are visualized. Scrolling visulalization are only available in the HTML of this report.
Godness of fit metrics is based on RMSE (Root Mean Square Error, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root-mean-square_deviation), MAE (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_absolute_error) and KGE (Kling-Gupta efficiency, see “kge” function on hydroGOF R package Mauricio Zambrano-Bigiarini (2020)):

Whereas temperature is increasing with a significant trend, the behavior of precipitation due to intermittency and discontuinity is more difficult to analyze. Some recents studies applied to Mediterreanares shows a slighly decrease (e.g. Mascaro, Viola, and Deidda (2018)) with an impact of water resources, especially snow (e.g. Senatore et al. (2022)). AS concern the site WWTRES and WWRLUN monthly time series is presented in the following.
